Asked by WDFN The Fan in Detroit on Thursday if he was asked any “weird questions,” Bell said, “Yeah, yeah, no question, just like that. There was definitely a couple weird questions. I mean I got asked so many of them, I don’t remember them all, but that was definitely a couple of questions that I got asked, too.

“I think they do that just to see how you react and how you answer to it. It’s really to try to test you and where you’re at mentally, and you’ve got to make sure you handle all those things in the right way so certain teams will take a chance on you and get you.”

However, teams that ask inappropriate questions at the Combine run the risk of punishment from the league. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello made that clear on Wednesday.

“We will look into the report on the questioning of Nick Kasa at the Combine,’’ Aiello told Pro Football Talk. “Any team or employee that inquires about impermissible subjects or makes an employment decision based on such factors is subject to league discipline.

“It is league policy to neither consider nor inquire about sexual orientation during the hiring process. In addition, there are specific protections in our collective bargaining agreement with the players that prohibit discrimination against any player, including on the basis of sexual orientation.”

Judging from Bell’s comments, someone from the league may also be speaking with him about the questions he was asked at the Combine.
